12. By analyzing the garbage of a large number of average-sized households,
        a group of modern urban anthropologists has found that a household discards
        less food the more standardized-made up of canned and prepackaged foods-its
        diet is. The more standardized a household's diet is, however, the greater
        the quantities of fresh produce the household throws away.



        Which of the following can be properly inferred from the passage?



        (A) An increasing number of households rely on a highly standardized diet.



        (B) The less standardized a household's diet is, the more nonfood waste
        the household discards.



        (C) The less standardized a household's diet is, the smaller is the proportion
        of fresh produce in the household's food waste.



        (D) The less standardized a household's diet is, the more canned and prepackaged
        foods the household discards as waste.



        (E) The more fresh produce a household buys, the more fresh produce it
        throws away.


答案是C


但是最后一句话说The more standardized a household's diet is, however, the greater
        the quantities of fresh produce the household throws away.


我的理解是越多的吃standardized ,就会throw away 多的fresh produce.


但是C 是说越少。。。就有越少比例的fresh food waste。 我认为比例不一定减少了啊？应该是frash food 减少了吗！


谢谢解惑！

The relationship is as follows:

The more A --> the more B ==> the less A --> the less B
So "the less standardized a household's diet is", the less fresh produce the household throws away

The more A --> the less C ==> the less A --> the more C
So "the less standardized a household's diet is", the more food the family discards.

With both "so", we can tell that C is correct because the total food thrown away increases while fresh produce is less. So...
